Rex Heuermann, the Gilgo Beach serial killer, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murders of seven women, after admitting to killing eight over a 17-year span. This week, Jessie and Andie discuss the sentencing hearing, the families’ devastating victim impact statements, and the long-delayed reckoning for the women Heuermann murdered.

Current Affairs is Love Murder’s shorter show about the cases of love gone fatally wrong that are in the news right now.
